. keep it up, mate. we'll check back with you. how big is the u.s. military commitment? who is running the show? we've got just the person to answer those crucial questions. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon what. do you know? tell us about it. >> well, the u.s. right now is in charge of the commanding control of the operation. it's being led, as you've reported by general carter ham at the newest command in germany. they're overseeing it but have you an admiral on board uss mount whitney, admiral locklear overseeing for the sixth fleet the tomahawk missiles being fired from three u.s. submarines in the med terrainin. a british submarine, as well as two u.s. destroyers, stout and barry. 114 cruise missiles as mentioned, clearly the fact there are still antiaircraft being fired out of tripoli they're going to have to fire more missiles or air strikes tomorrow to assess their still doing bomb damage assessments, about half of the missiles, we understand landed in the tripoli area where gaddafi has his largest air base. then there were two sites in sert, hometown of gaddafi no. tomahawk

on libya will put the civilians at risk and the u.s. will support national military efforts to prevent gaddafi from attacking his own people. >> america has unique capabilities and we will bring them to bear to help our european and canadian allies and arab partners without further violence against civilians. including through the effective implementation of a no-fly zone. as president obama says, the united states will not deploy ground troops. but there should be no mistaking our commitment to this effort. >> reporter: secretary clinton is at an emergency summit. 22 european, north american and leaders and diplomates to get everyone on the same page how to enforce the united nations resolution authorizing a no ply zone. the secretary, had who side meetings with the foreign ministers of jordan, united arab emirates and qatar. and it's been crucial in this. kelly. >> kelly: molly, so far the french have taken the most visible lead today. diplomatically and militarily, tell us what they're doing. >> yeah, french president nicolas sarkozy hosted that meeting at the palace in paris and i

're not experts in that realm. we're not going to speculate and go with what the japanese and u.s. officials tell us. anyway you look at it it's a very serious situation, i think right now people are concerned about the search and rescue efforts and concerned about the fact that they can't get to a lot of these areas due to the fact that they're in areas near or around where the nuclear reactors are having these problems. >> so many things to deal with. adam housley reporting live to us from mito, japan. stay well, we look forward to your reports. >> reporter: will do. >> jamie: we will he' check back with adam. the situation at the nuclear power plant is obviously of great concern because japan relies heavily on nuclear power. about 30% of all of its electricity is produced by 55 power units and the earthquake forcing 11 to be shut down and japan, also the world's third largest producer of nuclear power. let's bring in kt mcfarland of fox news national security analyst. kt, you've examined many sides of what occurred, this tragedy in japan. on this particular one, what is japan facing? >> well,

started yesterday, and french fire jets started the no-fly operation against libya and the u.s.s. battleships and launched a hundred tomahawks missiles. >> the french started at it, strikes blew up outside benghazi, at least a couple of gaddafi tanks and then the american efforts along with the british and put out over 110 tomahawk missiles from 11 vessels including three submarines and we find out about an operation in libya that started the u.s. >> that's right, we've learned that apparently a number of stealth bombers took off from the united states and presumably they took off from whiteman air force base to the south and east of kansas city, missouri. three of them took off, flew nonsense from the united states, made a bombing run there in libya, dropped 40 bombs on libyan air fields and destroyed gaddafi's air force, we understand perhaps entirely. >> and what the u.s. believes may be a campaign by muammar gaddafi, state libyan claims that 48 civilians mostly women and children, they say. >> right. >> have been killed by the air threat, although there were defect,from gad

and everyone saying, look, because it's the u.s. ally. mubarak was an ally. if it falls it could affect the entire region. >> that could happen in syria and also in yemen and jordan, major u.s. concerns this morning. >> and clayton mentioned in libya, it's good news, the rebels have taken ajdabiya, but now there's some on the left who are really criticizing the president for even getting involved in libya, calling this a where and unconstitutional as near as congress's dennis kucinich. >> the president exceeded his power and people should look at the constitution, look at article, one, section 8 and they put the war power in the hands of the congress. look at article two, that deals with the executive. there's nothing in there that gives the president the power to commit our troops to war. >> it's a gray area and studying constitutional history, very few presidents declared war. five u.s. presidents declared war and we've been in a lot more wars than that. and the white house responding. james carney, taking questions outlined by members of congress have been largely answered in a very

expect the u.s. navy will stay a key role in our aid there. >> the u.s.s. blue ridge is on its way and will arrive march 18th. the u.s. nimitz fleet is mobilized and already the u.s. is offering food and supplies. meanwhile, interesting news from a geological statement and look at the maps of the world and tectonic plates and everything shifts on a normal basis. yesterday after this earthquake, japan has moved eight feet, eight feet, the whole country moved eight feet, which is remarkable. you remember after the chile earthquake as well we had-- there were talk about the earth axis having shifted and we added a few seconds to the clock as a result. >> dave: that's right. >> clayton: or points of seconds to the clock. >> dave: we spring forward today an hour, but this thing actually shifted the rotation and made our earth's rotation faster. it's amazing to think how powerful an incident we're talking about. seasons, likely affected as you can see there on the graphic. massive changes. >> alisyn: no wonder i'm feeling a little off today. >> dave: that's the hour of sleep. >> alisyn:

of the military operations in libya, the enforcement of the no-fly zone will now fall to that body. though the u.s. and allies will continue to manage the bombing campaign. a role president obama made clear he's eager to give up. and joining me paul wolfowitz. good to have you here. >> good to be here. >> paul: a week into this, how is it going? >> it seems to me we're in a situation where for lack of a strategy we end up in the long circular debates about tactics and it's an important question, but tactical question. i think the strategic question is are we prepared to live long-term with a stalemate in libya. that doesn't mean we're prepared to put american troops on the ground to resolve this conflict, but it has to be a lot more than just this tightening a noose through economic sanctions. i think the real question that should be addressed are what kind of support are we going to give to libyan opposition, starting with the issue of sending a-- having a president in benghazi, recognizing them, agreeing about the principles and the long-term for the country and also providing them with assistan

ali abd dill law sula a u.s. ally trying to tackle al qaeda. americans reportedly killed yemeni police officers in an ambush. one person dead and hundreds homeless after a tornado ripped through the town of louisiana yesterday. i hope i am pronouncing that right. a person died a young mother trying to protect a child. many residents are still without power. take a look at this youtube video. lulling right about the time a tornado touched down. more on the weather let's go right now. >> it was a real rough k day yesterday. you can see where the cold front is. it is pulled further off to the east. threat for severe weather not as significant today. we will see some showers that are severe. maybe strong winds not as much in the way of tornados. you notice the rain pulling in cold air coming in behind it. >> off to the south you notice it is cleared out across parts of the western panhandle of florida. new orleans you are fine. parts of florida we need some of the rain because of the fires we are dealing with. flood warnings are in effect. that is a concern right now. we have flood watches

. the u.s. and allice will manage the bombing campaign a role that president obama is eager to give up. joining me is former deputy secretary of defense. >> good to be here. >> and week into this, how is it going? >> it seems to me we are in a situation for lack of a strategy we end up in long debates about tactics it is a tactical question and the strategic question is are we prepared to live long term in a stale mate in libya. it has to be more than yust tightening the noose through economic sanctions . the real questions that should be addressed is what kind of support are we going to give to the libya opposition starting with the issue of having a presence in benghazi and agreeing on principles for the long term of the country and providing them assistance. >> i want to get into the opposition. a lot of people say we don't know who they are. they could be islamicist and not democrats after all. if we don't know them that well, why should we back them? >> my first response, one reason we don't know who they are is because we made little effort to get in there can work with them and
